IWeb site suddenly won't publish to MobileMe

Have been publishing my iWeb site successfully with iLife '09 and Snow Leopard for a couple of months now. Yesterday I added a page and published successfully. Then I made changes to some already published pages. These pages are mostly photos and I changed download size from medium to large. Tried to publish these changes and got the error message: An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/.Temporary Web Resources/C-20091129-115210-0500/RiceHS/bavs_Iona_Prep_files/Media/DSC2189”. Try publishing again later.
Have tried to publish just changes and then the whole site again. I always get the error message but the long file name changes every time. I have deleted clientConfiguration.plist, com.apple.iWeb.plist and CachedResources.plist files. Problem persists. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

I have been having this problem for the past month.
My iWeb sites are published to Mobile Me. I update them at least once a day. Every week...usually on a weekend, I have experienced the same error described in this thread. The fact that is almost always happens on a weekend is suspicious. The only other time it happened was at 5AM on a Monday morning.
I have stopped believing that it is somehow related to an error on my computer. I tried deleting preferences in both places (the "ByHost" folder that is inside the user's Preferences folder and the regular iWeb preferences file inside the user's Preferences folder. I can publish to a folder and then drag the files to my iDisk without any problem. In the end, if I wait long enough, the problem seems to go way.
I can't be sure, but I believe this problem began when I upgraded from Mac OSX 10.5.7 to 10.5.8.
To the people who have been having this problem, I can only say that I don't think the problem lies with you and your software.

How do I upload iWeb-site without using 'Flie Publish' feature?

Due to corporate firewall restrictions I cannot use iDisk, Sync or iWeb to connect to .mac, which presented a problem when I wanted to Publish my iWeb site.
I have uploaded the site [via webdav, with Transmit] to the Sites folder of my iDisk, but I can't find my site when I enter my .mac URL into my browser (http://web.mac.com/myusername or http://homepage.mac.com/myusername).
Theoretically, is this the right way to upload to iDisk without using iWeb? Is there anything else I need to do to link my URL to the files in iDisk/Sites?
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ok, my member name is leepaulvickers.
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/iweb
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/leepaulvickers
http://homepage.mac.com/leepaulvickers
but just get the 'we can't find the HomePage you've requested' 404 error.
BTW I've used Transmit to upload to my iDisk in the past, such as files and photos with no problems. I assumed there would be no trouble with iWeb's files...

I went to insert button hit counter. It shows on iweb, but it won't publish

Will changing to 08 remove all my iWeb sites already designed and published

I have a ton of web sites already designed and published with iLife 06 and my dot mac account. I bought iLife 08, but before I install it, I want to make sure it's not going to delete my sites. Does it automatically put them into 08 or what? If it does put my other sites into 08, are they still editable then in 08?

You will not lose any of your already published and saved iWeb creations. The only problem I ran into when I updated was that most of my text hyperlinks were a different size font and the navigation menu at the top was aligned slightly differently (I had a graphic behind mine). Just little tweaky details like that. That change is only on your saved iWeb files on your computer, which means you can fix it before you upload it to the web for all to see. You will probably only have that problem if you modified the default template fonts like I always do. If you stuck with the templates, you should be fine.
Once you do update, it is worth it! You are only able to do more than before without losing anything you have already created, at least in my experience. There are a ton of little things that get me closer to creating the website I envision - like being able to choose the hyperlink colors and formats.
So install it and enjoy without any worries. In my book you have nothing to lose.

IWeb won't publish to Mobileme

I am running the latest iWeb 2.0.4 and iWeb will not publish, I get a message that it will not connect every time. My internet is fine, any idea what I can do to get this working.

Although the fix in the thread I'm linking you to is for an email issue it did help one user with a publishing problem. See my post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7803559#7803559

IWeb site suddenly stops working

Hi folks,
I'm tearing my hair out here. I used iWeb to create my business website and bought my domain name www.spokenmotion.co.uk via a company called uk2.net. I use Mobile Me to host the site. I got everything set up with the help of my One-to-One sessions at the Apple Store in London. The other day I was updating and suddenly the site just stopped working when I re-published to my mobile me account. At first I got the dotmac page stating that the page may have been moved, changed, deleted etc but now the web browser doesn't even show this. Safari just says the page can't load.
Strangely, the 'Publish to Mobile Me' button has been greyed out ever since, but the 'Publish all to Mobile Me' one is still clickable. However, re-publishing this way does not help.
Went for another 1:1 yesterday at Apple Store. The guy says everything is fine from Mobile Me perspective. He blamed uk2.net, but everything looks fine on my control panel on their site and absolutely nothing has changed or been tinkered with. I'm using web diversion to send http://web.me.com/spokenmotion/SpokenMotion/Welcome.html to my domain name. UK2 claim the issue is with Mobile Me...but like I say everything seems to be pointing towards each other and the settings haven't been fiddled with.
I am a complete newbie to all of this and would be INFINITELY grateful to anyone who can explain to me what is happening here. Is this yet another screw-up from Mobile Me? The worst part is that my POP3 mailbox attached to this site has now also stopped working, so I'm missing essential emails daily. AAAGH!
I have just launched my business and have 20,000 flyers around London advertising a website and email address which don't work. Egg on my face isn't the word. Any assistance would be gratefully received.
Thanks in anticipation
Ian

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Really stupid question, I know. But what is Apple Support? How do I contact them (I live in Britain)? Is there a charge?
Sorry, but I ordinarily only use my Mac for iTunes and the internet. It was a bold move of me to try and use iLife for my business..way out of my comfort zone I'm sorry for if I sound like a donut.
Kind regards,
Ian

Does anybody know if we can publish an iWeb site in iCloud?

I was a member of MobileMe but since it was announced that it will be discontinued I didn't renew my subscription.
So, my question is if, I can publish my iweb site to iCloud?
Please advise.

http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
What happens to the iWeb sites that I’ve published to MobileMe?
You can continue publishing iWeb sites to MobileMe through June 30, 2012, even after moving to iCloud. With iWeb you can easily move a site published to MobileMe to another web hosting service and you should do so before that date. Please read this article for details.

How do I publish iWeb site with Cyberduck??

Hi there,
I am trying and trying, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody help me and tell me how to publish an iWeb site with Cyberduck??
Thank you so much!
Marc

Okay, this is not complicated at all.
When you want to publish an iWeb site to some place other than MobileMe, then you publish to a folder of your choice on your hard drive and iWeb will create all the files needed. It will create one folder that has the same name that you called your website inside iWeb plus an index.html page. So if you called your site Site in iWeb, then when you publish to a folder, your folder will be called Site, plus the index.html page.
You then need to open Cyberduck and enter your ftp info, plus your username and password and then you click on open connection. Once you click on open connection you will be connected to your hosting service and there will be a folder there called Public_html. You then need to upload your folder plus index.html file from your hard drive and once these have been uploaded, you just drag and drop them into the Public_html folder on your web space. To upload in Cyberduck, just click on Action at the top and click on Upload. Once you click here you will be shown all the files on your hard drive and all you need do is go to the folder where you site is stored and then click on index.html and it will be uploaded and then click on Site or whatever your site is called and upload this and it will be uploaded.
It is not difficult at all, but you do need to know what you are doing.

IWeb still won't publish. At All. Tired and fed up

Hi, yesterday I posted a Help note saying that iWeb was refusing to publish my website. I got some advice back from James Tseng (thanks James) saying I should keep trying. Well, I have kept trying - this is a day later - and i still get the message: "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site” when trying to publish.
It's like buying a new car that refuses to start. Every time I complain to the garage, they say: "Well, try again in a few hours time!". And the worst thing is about the above Apple message is that it gives you no idea what the problem is.
I have read James' suggestion and read web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/PublishErrorsHelp/Publish%20Errors%20Help.htm and l have managed to publish to a folder. But I'm not confident about following the other suggestions as I'm not a technical person. I also run my own business and don't have the time to keep trying all these alternatives. I bought what I thought was a professional package - iLife (iWeb) and a year's .Mac subscription; I spent three working days working on the website. Yet nothing works. It just doesn't publish. At all. At any time of day or night (I got up in the middle of the night to try again - but got the same error message again).
What am I doing with this half-cookedbaked product and service? It's completely unacceptable.
Answers? Suggestions? Before I go back to the London Apple store and politely request a refund...?
Thanks

Hi
Please don't cry, I'm sure you'll get sorted out - there's plenty of people on this forum that can give you good advice.
If you only bought subscription to .Mac yesterday are you sure it's up and running? Try logging in to your account on
http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/wa/login?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
If you can't log in then you'll not be able to publish.
If you can log in you can get some info about your account by clicking on the little house symbol at the left of the blue header bar ... I'm looking at mine now and the system status window does state that today "Web Services were unavailable for 2 hour(s) to all .Mac Members." Doesn't say between what times though.
Your iDisk is basically your personal storage space on Apple's Servers (.Mac).
When you (finally) publish your iWeb site, the uploaded files will go into certain folders on iDisk.
The iDisk on your desktop is just a copy of the iDisk on .Mac
The two iDisks synchronise with each other whenever you make changes:
You can manually make changes and add files to iDisk on your desktop, and it will synchronise with the one on .Mac - you can set it to do this either manually or automatically.
Hope that all makes sense.

Problems with my Iweb site after using Iweb Seo Tool!!

I just used the Iweb Seo Tool with my Iweb 09. I followed the Seo webpage instructions to use it. I published it and everything seemed to work well.
I added Google analytics and used every option available that the tool offers
As of today. When trying to use my bookmarked link in my bookmarks toolbar, it didnt work.I entered my site into the address bar and my site loaded fine.
But...I have some problems.
My comments in my blog have disapeared
I cant log into my MobileMe account through my system preferences
My password and use name are rejected
I can log into my site through MobileMe.com and I have even changed my password.
I have tried to publish my Iweb site and I get the error "Couldnt reach the MobileMe configuration server"
I publish using my idisk and mobileme account
I have looked on other forums and found out that if i move my "cache" from my "home" folder, to the desktop that it should work... no luck!!
Please Help!!!!
my website is www.kulturetattoo.com if you want to see where my comments are. They are listed under "testimonials" on my home page
Can I just delete the Iweb Seo Tool and get rid of any metatags, google analytics and everything else? and have my old website back?

iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

My website has reverted to pre-iWeb site

I have had my website through iWeb for at least 4 months. Tonight when searched for it, I noticed that the whole iWeb format is gone and my website has reverted to it's pre-iWeb look (I created it on a PC)
I have some important job applications out and people are going to be looking for my gallery and resume online. Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
Thank you!

you say you searched for it?
if the old site is still there it should have a different address than the iweb site.
how do you publish the iweb site?

IWeb won't publish site fully.

Hi. I'm having trouble publishing my latest site update with iWeb 1.1.2.
I just did a major update to a photo blog I've been publishing successfully for two years. However, after three days of trying, I suddenly cannot get iWeb (or mobileme?) to publish my site. It will compile the update and save my data, but not publish the entire update -- the progress circle gets hung up for 3-4 hours, before I finally force quit and restart my computer, only to try again and get the same results.
I am trying to update with the usual amount of data I typically do, and thus know from experience that I should be fully published in under 40 minutes. I've plenty of iDisk space, and about a fourth of my update does get published before things get hung up. Any ideas?
(For what it's worth, I see the spinning color wheel a LOT these days when using iWeb, and have had lots of finder issues when trying to publish this latest update -- font problems, apps getting hung, etc.)
Thanks!

Because I uploaded a "save to folder" version of my site, I've lost the "comments" feature and the advanced slide show features.
Using that approach, perhaps Apple assumes that your site was not made using iWeb and thus iWeb-specific features are unavailable, i.e. Password protection, Blog and photo comments, Blog search, Hit counter and Enhanced slideshows.
How do I get those back?
Perhaps it's not possible if you're publishing via a folder. But to be sure, ask Apple via the email page posted previously.
FWIW, I only transferred the site folder, not the index.html file that was generated with it. Was that unwise?
That "+How to publish a custom website+" doc says: "...upload the HTML files (and any files that go with them) to a subfolder in the Sites folder (in the Web folder) on your iDisk." ...It doesn't mention omitting the index.html file.
On a general note, I suggest you consider more efficient and robust alternatives to iWeb's blog. Since iWeb stores blog entries on your Mac, you inevitably face long and potentially problematic publishing. And there will always be the possibility that you'll have to do a long and slow Publish All. Whether it's because you upgrade to a new version of iWeb or OS X or MobileMe, etc., the possibility exists.
But if you hyperlink from your iWeb site to a web-based blog, you'll avoid this — as your blog entries won't be stored on your Mac. For example, the free Posterous is as simple as blogging gets — you can post a blog entry (including images) via email or from a web browser:
